Death by Violence Anollier Brldse AcroKN Itae MuabluKum Weather Notes. Zanestille, March 19, To the Editor of (lie Ohio State Journal : A male child, found in a vault just out side the city, of whom a girl named Kate Roberta was the mother, and a young man named Blake is said to be the father, occupied the attention of Coroner Smith . 1 . . rr, if.i and a jury yesterday, me veraici was that "the child came to his death from violence at the hands of some person or rwrsons unknown to us." Doctors call and Holden decided that it had lived; but the jury were unable to determine whether or not the infant had found its resting place through maliciousness, the mother having amrmea mat n nisi, no fate through an accident. Our Commissioners have ordered the sale of a sufficient number of Central Ohio railroad bonds for the erection of another bridge across the Muskingum, to connect the suburbs of the city near the Ohio Iron Works and Brown Manufac turing company on one Bide, and a large tract of land on the other, which will be available for workingmen's cheap homeB. It will be a great improvement, and do much toward building up that part of the city, as well as being a .great convenience for countrymen from that sec tion. , . The weather now is quite a curiosity and would be cherished as iuch, a rew years hence, were it possible to preserve it. Sleigh riding is a morning amusement, and boat ruling migni oe ou diversion, judging from the condition of the aveouss. Koaring thunder, while snow flakes are dropping thick and fast, is also another strange freak observed lately. It is stated that the Pope has dictated a note, which the Nuncios will present to the various Governments, representing the condition to which Hie Holiness will be reduced if the clerical abuses bjllis passed. ;4 ' Late advice from Bombay report the physical condition of the laborers good, and no aigns of starvation. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL WASHINGTON. The Postmaster General's Plan of Sonthern Appointments.Southern Delegations Yislting the President, And Urging the Removal of Troops from the State Houses. Southern Question to be Considered by the Cabinet To -Day. District Marshal Douglass Hud hi Subordinates. POSTMASTER. GENERAL EXPLAINS. Washinqtom, March 19. Postmaster General Key, in reply to a letter of Sena tor Aleirimon, asking for information in relation to the distribution of patronage in the South, says: "I will endeavor to explain the situation as clearly and briefly as possible. When a vacancy exists in any office connected with this department, in the Southern States, preference will be given to a Republican, all other things being equal; but should it be impossible to find a Republican who will be satisfactory to a large majority of the people whose business is directly affected by the appointment, or in caee of content of office, then I shall not hesitate to step aside and accept a person who in my judgment will give satisfaction to the busineHs interests of the community. While I Bhall always be glad to accept the views of Senators and Representatives, touching matters of this kind, yet I shall not consider myself as in anyway bound to act upon it. My desire is to do the greatest good to the greatest number, and to this end I shall always be glad to have your co-operation. I verv much re gret 1 did not see you, and Bhall be glad to do so at any time." INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, General Butler, of South Carolina, and Repre sentatives Levi and Ellis, of Louisiana, had this afternoon an interview with At torney General Devens on the situation in South Carolina and Louisiana. Sena tor Gordon suggested that the logical se quence ol the Bituauon compelled the withdrawal ot troops irora tne mate Houses, or the holding of the State Houses against both Governments; that the Administration refused to recognize either Government in their States, and that therefore if the troops were not with drawn, they must of necessity and logically be used to keep the State Houets as neutral ground; mat it was not and could not be logically consistent to say neither Upvernment should oe recognized ny tne Administration, ana to keep one Government in possession of of the State House, and the other Government out. He insisted that there was no answer to this conclusion, but regard ed the withdrawal of troops, not from the States at all, but simply from the State Houses, as the only course consistent with non-intervention and freedom from embarrassment. General Butler and all those present united in the assertion that no disturbance could or would occur. All those gentlemen stated that the agricultural interests of these States were seri ously injured by delay. Immediately alter the interview sena tor Gordon saw the President and pre sented arguments for as prompt consideration as possible, and was told by the President that the question would at once be taken up and dmposed of. It was the one thing to be first considered. A delegation from Bomb uarolina, con sisting of Senator Patterson, Senator-elect Corbin, J. U, Wmsmith, U. U. tsowen.n. G. Worthington, G. J. Cunningham, Mayor of Charleston, J. V. Low, O. W. Watterman and I. M. Canton, had an interview with the president. Uen-eral Worthington read from manuscript an argument urging that Chamberlain should be recognized as the legal Gover nor of the State. Several other gentlemen presented their views orally, and the President, at the conclusion of the au-ience, said he would submit the whole matter to the Cabinet. In reply to a question from Senator Patterson whether it was true, an stated iu some of the newspapers, that troops are to be moved im mediately from the Columbia State House, the President said this statement was not true. The statu 9110 would be maintained until a final decision should be reached, SUPREME COURT PKCISIOH8. Dovle v. Continental Insurance Com pany. Error to the Circuit Court for Wisconsin. In this case the decision in the case of The Home Insurance Company v. Moore is reaffirmed, that an agreement to abstain in all cases from resorting to circuits of the United Statea is void as sgainHt public policy, and a statute of the State of Wisconsin requiring such an agreement is in conflict with thelonstitu tion of the United States, and void. The present opinion also takes the following ground : The State has a right to impose conditions to the transaction of business within Ub territory, by an insurance company chartered by another State, if they are not in conflict with the Constitu tion or laws of the United States. It mav entirely exclude such com pa. nies from its territory, pr haying given a license it may revoke it for good cause, or without cause. The motive or intention of the State is not open to in auiry. The oompany has no constitutional right to transmit its business in such a State, and hence its exclusion therefrom, from whatever causes, violates no constitutional rights. The right of conclusion belongs to the State, and the meanB by which tt accomplishes the. re. suit ere not the subject of judicial in. anirv. Justice Hunt delivered the opinion dissenting Justices, Bradley, Swayne and Miller. THE CENTENNIAL CASE. Conra et al. v. Crane et al. appeal from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Illinois. It is here considered settled that appeals do not He to this court from decisions ol Uircuit Courts made in exercise of their supervisory jurisdiction under the bankrupt law. Appeal dismissed. The following cause was then taken up and argument proceeded with: George E. Evsler, Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Philadelphia, y. Centen nial Board of Finance et al, appeal from the Circuit Court for the Eastern District nf Pennsylvania. This is the case of the Government to recover the amount of the fecntepuial appropriation. The quea- tion to be determined is whether or not the United States is entitled to be reimbursed $1,600,000, ad vanced under the act of February, 1876, to the Centennial Board of Finance. The United Statea ineista in substance that Congress had no authority under the constitution to make the appropriation, and that for this reason the money should be returned to the Treasurer of the United States; that if Congress bad such authority then it could secure priority of payment to the United States over all other creditors; that the act making the appropriation did provide, in language which cannot be falsely construed otherwise, that the United States should be paid the full amount of such appropriation before any dividend whatever should be paid the stockholders of the Centennial Board of Finance; that such was the unmistakable intention of Congress is evinced by the debates at the time the act was pending, and by all other acta of Congress, eto. THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE. Frederick Douglass was this afternoon qualified aa United States Marshal for the .District of Columbiana, and took charge of the office. Columbus Alexander, of Washington, and General Hill, of Ueorge-town, united with him in the execution of a bond of $20,000 for the performance of the duties. A large number of applicants for office under the new Marshal were in attendance before he was qualified, but Mr. Douglas intimated that he was not in favor of removing any good men from their present positions, and would make no changes without careful consideration. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Colonel Philips, who had been for twenty five years Chief Deputy Marshal, was to-day filled by the appointment of L. P. WilliamB, who for many years has been Assistant Clerk of Supreme Court of the District. This se lection is regarded generally with very great approbation by the bar and public at'large. THE EXTRA SESSION. The President up to this evening has not found himself able to approve any of the plans which have been suggested to obviate the apparent necessity ol an extra session of Congress. He, however, shares the general desire of all parties to discover some means, u any exist, by which the army can be maintained without a called session of Congress, and although he considers all the plans that have vet been suggested insufficient or impracticable, he will not finally decide the matter till further consultation with members of the Cabinet. THE SOUTHERN QUESTION, It is learned at the Executive Mansion that there id no probability of a decision being reached to-morrow concerning the Southern question, although it will then doubtless be brought before the Cabinet, and its formal cousideralion commenced. There will be al least one other session of the Cabinet held before the matter is finally determined. An additional Cabinet meeting will probably be called for Wednesday. , SOUTHERN DELEGATIONS. Several Southern delegations remain in Washington, urging the President to make certain appointments. To one of these the Preaideot to-day said he would take bis time. Gentlemen from the South who have interviewed the President in the interest of the recognition of Nicholls and Hampton are expressing themselves very hopeful that this week will terminate all anxiety on the subject. CAMERON-OLIVER. In the case of Mary E. Oliver v. ex-Sena.tor Simon Cameron, action f r breach of promise, in which $50,000 damages are claimed, defendant has filed his plea as follows : and now comes defendant, and for plea to the declaration filed against him in the above entitled caee, Buys that he never promised as alleged.

Rumor of Preparations for Hostili ties in New Orleans. Wade Hampton Makes n Proposition. A Demaeralle Account of Itae oulsl Hum sitaation. New Orleans, March 19. The Even ing Democrat says: "Matters are aasum ing a feverish cast around the St. LouiB Hotel, and things look more than ever like a conflict. By half-past nine 0 clock Monday, morning there were gathered about the St. Louis and Royal street entrances about one thousand negroeB, who served to make the place a pandemonium These negroes are evidently from the country, and are here to join Packard's militia, which is now engaged in recruit-ing. He now admits he will, as soon at possible, take back the police stations, and says be would 'not remain in the building two hours if he had all his arms back. It can be put down as a settled fact that within a very few days at the farthest rackard will break the peace, HiB backers in the hotel are hot for war. and nothing but the probable outcome is talked about, It is reported he is already in negotiation for the purchase of arms. and all funds come-at-able are to be used in securing them. They boaBt down there that they do not want troops to interfere, and they assert that if 'might makes right,' they have the might. Our citizens should be prepared for the turning loose on the streets of a gang of ignorant negroes, led by bad men, for that now is the evident policy of Packard. The situation is assuming a much more warlike attitude than ever before since January 9, and the responsibility of the matter will rest on Packard, and the fruits he will gather will be most bitter. Wade Hampton Makes a Proposition.New York, March 19. Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, has given a guarantee to the President that if troops are withdrawn no violence will occur or be allowed; but that he will proceed against Chamberlain by legal means only, and under a statute enacted by the Republicans in 1868, to enable them to put out some Democratic incumbents. This statute provides for the summary ejection of Bny person intruding himself into a public office by warrant issued by a Circuit Judge. The party evicted under such warrant is authorized by statute to assert his claim or pretensions in the courts, if he wishes; but he must give way first and at once on the issue and presentation of a warrant to the officer elected.

Packard, claiming to be (governor, r . 5 Johnson, claiming to be Superintendent of Education, and otherafresiding in the St. Louis Hotel building, known as the Stale House. The petition sets forth that those persons are unlawfully in possession of said building, and in the name of the State asks that the present occupants be dispossessed therefrom, and that the rightful claimants, the officers of the Nicholls Government, be given possession. The court has not yet been called upon to take action in the premises, but it is likely such action will be invoked very Boon. Packard's Kecrnilliifr OfficersAr-re-ted. New Orleans, March 19.

Christian Hanson, arraigned in Police Court on a charge of attempt at burglary, informed the J ustice that be made the attempt that he might get into the State prison. Being asked why he wanted to go to the State prison he answered ; "Judge, I have only just come from Columbus, Ohio, wbere I served ten years in the State prison for burglary. I was pardoned out bv Governor Hayes, now President of the United Stales. My original sentence was for twenty years. My life is wasted and I am a wreck. God knows I intended when I came out of prison to live an bon est life. I was pardoned out on the 5th of last, month, I went to Cincinnati and tried to get work, but failed. From there I went to Pittsburg and met with no better success. Then! tramped it all the way to New York, where I had friends, trying to get work from farmers on the way, sleeping where 1 got an opportunity, and eating when ever charitable persons gave me a cruet. My friends here, who knew me before I was a criminal, refused to recognize me I can't get work. I have lived in the gutter, aud have been kicked about dread to kill myself, and so with the horrors of prison life still before me I am obliged to go back. There is nothing else left for me." Hanson, later, said the crime for which he was convicted was robbery of the First National Bank of Cincinnati of $400,000 in bonds, and $5000 in greenbacks. Suicide aud Life Innnrance.

Those who are willing to give Turkey one or three years to mature reforms may see what elements are at work for future im provement, either in the Government or among the people. Not one Zaptich has been dismissed the service; no tithe gath erer has been stopped in his unlawful ex action, and no step is made toward tbe es tablishment of public security or the administration of fair and equal justice. Preparations for the Contingency of War. London, March 19. A telegram dated Teheran, March 18, says advices from Er- zeroum to the 6th inst. show that the au thorities were displaying much activity in preparations for the contingency of war between Russia and Turkey.

Phil ip.., Treasurer ot the Camp ol the Urder of Caucasians, of this city, have been interviewed concerning the Chico massacre. They repudiate the idea that the order is in any way responsible for the crime, claiming that on the contrary they will use all means to discover and punish the offenders. They assign as a reason for the outrages recently committed at Cbico that a number of white men who had been employed in the Sash and Blind Factory were discharged and uninamen hired in their places; that under the incentive of poverty and lack ot employment, becom ing dissatisfied with the slow and power ful working of the Urder of Caucasians, to which they belonged, some of these men formed an anti-Coolie club, to whose influence, direct or indirect, the recent tragedy is largely duo. They claim that the camp of the Caucasians at Chico is composed of the most respectable men in the town, and that the Urder in uantor-nia numbers about 7000, and about the same number in Nevada, Trial or Hnjor Beno.

Chilicothe, March 19. fo the Editor of the Ohio Stale Journal : All thoughts of "spring, beautiful spring," vanished like mist, figuratively speaking, from our mind when that inveterate fraud, delusion and snare, Old Probs., embraced us within his icy arms, at the same time showering myriads of snow flukes down upon mother earth. In short, this vicinity has of late been favored with two miniature enow storms, the firBt being on Friday and tbe second on Sunday. The Moore divorce case is over; that is, the witnesses have all have been examined, so that now tbe only thing that remains to be done ie Jndgs Steel's decision. which is to be made known to-dav. The Rev. W. H. Scott, President of the Ohio University, preached at the Main Street M. E. Church Sunday, par ticipating at both the morning and even- ng services, Mr. and Mrs. Frame, the Quaker re vivalists, have arrived. They made their debut in this city at the Walnut Street M. E. Church Sunday morning and even ing, and a large crowd assembled to see and hear tbem. We understand they contemplate remaining here three or four weeks, during which time they will en gage in a series ot revivals. We trust that their work will not be "Love a Labor Lost." It was a mistake to say that the Dem ocrats were to hold their primary meet ing on Saturday, to night is tbe time. The nominating convention will be convened at the City Hall, probably. At least, they moat generally do hold forth (here. At the request of Judge John M. Vanme'.er, the Commissioners have released him as one of the three bondsmen on behalf of the present Democratic County Clerk, Colonel Edwin Pearson. Neglect of duty on the part of Mr. Pearson is the alleged reason for Judge Vanmeter's action. As the incumbent is a jolly, whole-so 11 led, big-hearted gentle man, it is a matter of much regret that the difficulty has occurred. Little Jimmy, a two year old boy named Jeff, whose parents reside in the fourth ward ot this city, fell tbe victim to a most painful and dreadful accident tbe latter part ot last week. He unfortunately got hold of a vial of kreosote, and, placing it to his mouth, drank down a greater portion of the terrible fluid. The mother had been suffering with an aching tooth, and after using the aforesaid article to allay the pain, she thoughtlessly set it upon a table, from which the child took it. there are grave doubts as to bis re. covery. Mr. Daniel A. Schulte, one of our old. est and beet known German citizens and business men, died at his Second street residence Friday morning after a long illness, in the 69th year of his age. The funeral services were held Sunday after noon, but the body is not to be interred until to-morrow afternoon, when only the members of the family and their immediate friends are to attend.

Mrs. Rachel Armistead died yesterday morning, in the eightyninth year of her age, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Harriet A. Davis, No. 630 North High street. Mrs. Armistead was among the few pioneers who could give personal recollections of the times when the, site of Columbus was a wilderness. She was born at the village of Albany, New Jer sey, and came to Ohio when very young. Her maiden name was Rachel Gulches. She became the wife of Colonel Joseph Gorton, and lived with him in Franklinton when that village was a mere speck of civilization, and when but one cabin was lo cated on the ground now occupied by that portion ot tbe city of Columbus east of the Scioto river. It is difficult for the young people of today to compre hend tbe fact that Colonel Gorton hunted deer over the territory where the handsome city fronts of Columbus now stands, and that until yesterday morning there lived a woman who was his companion in the wilderness, and who had personal recollections' of pioneer hardships and terrors in this coun ty. On one occasion the Gorton family were compelled to flee from their home in franklinton to escape the hos tile Indians, and they experienced many other pioneer hardships which would go to make up an interesting volume ot history, not unlinked with primeval romance. Colonel Gorton carried the mail, in early times, between Franklinton and Sandusky, and frequently when weary with a day's travel would tie his horsed to a tree in the evening, and walk a long distance from the animal before lying down to sleep; this precaution was deemed wise, inasmuch as the horse was likely to at tract tbe attention of roving savages. Such were the incidents of pioneer life ith which tbe subject of thia sketch wsb familiar. Colonel Gortln died in 1820, and in 1826 his widow was married to a gentleman whose name she bore up to the time of her death, and by whom she bad several children who are now living in this city and vicinity. Mrs. Armistead resided for some years n the vicinity of Dublin, but during the last years of her life lived in this city, and in her feeble old nge, and especially during her last illness, covering a period of about two weeks, received the most de voted attention of her daughters, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Demorest, and other relatives and friends who held her in the most profound veneration. Mrs. Armistead was a most exemplary woman. She wsb long a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her interesting history is one which will be kindly remembered by all to whom Bhe was iutimately known. The remains of Mrs. Armsfead will bo removed from the residence of Mrs. Davis to-morrow morning, and the funeral will take place at Wesley Chapel, in Norwich township, at eleven o'clock. An Old Time Typo. T. W. Murray, a printer and publisher in Columbus over a quarter of a century ago, but now of Cincinnati, made the State Journal office a visit yesterday. In 1848 he printed the Baptist Cross and Journal for Randall & Batoheler, and edited "Old Z:ick" a campaign sheet, issued in the interest, of General Taylor for the Presidency, Mr. Murray is still "at thecasi'i,! &'d promises well for many years yet. This is his second visit in twentyfive years. He claims that Columbus has outgrown bis recollection.

Death by Violence Anollier Brldse AcroKN Itae MuabluKum Weather Notes. Zanestille, March 19, To the Editor of (lie Ohio State Journal : A male child, found in a vault just out side the city, of whom a girl named Kate Roberta was the mother, and a young man named Blake is said to be the father, occupied the attention of Coroner Smith . 1 . . rr, if.i and a jury yesterday, me veraici was that "the child came to his death from violence at the hands of some person or rwrsons unknown to us." Doctors call and Holden decided that it had lived; but the jury were unable to determine whether or not the infant had found its resting place through maliciousness, the mother having amrmea mat n nisi, no fate through an accident. Our Commissioners have ordered the sale of a sufficient number of Central Ohio railroad bonds for the erection of another bridge across the Muskingum, to connect the suburbs of the city near the Ohio Iron Works and Brown Manufac turing company on one Bide, and a large tract of land on the other, which will be available for workingmen's cheap homeB. It will be a great improvement, and do much toward building up that part of the city, as well as being a .great convenience for countrymen from that sec tion. , . The weather now is quite a curiosity and would be cherished as iuch, a rew years hence, were it possible to preserve it. Sleigh riding is a morning amusement, and boat ruling migni oe ou diversion, judging from the condition of the aveouss. Koaring thunder, while snow flakes are dropping thick and fast, is also another strange freak observed lately.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL WASHINGTON. The Postmaster General's Plan of Sonthern Appointments.Southern Delegations Yislting the President, And Urging the Removal of Troops from the State Houses. Southern Question to be Considered by the Cabinet To -Day. District Marshal Douglass Hud hi Subordinates. POSTMASTER. GENERAL EXPLAINS. Washinqtom, March 19. Postmaster General Key, in reply to a letter of Sena tor Aleirimon, asking for information in relation to the distribution of patronage in the South, says: "I will endeavor to explain the situation as clearly and briefly as possible. When a vacancy exists in any office connected with this department, in the Southern States, preference will be given to a Republican, all other things being equal; but should it be impossible to find a Republican who will be satisfactory to a large majority of the people whose business is directly affected by the appointment, or in caee of content of office, then I shall not hesitate to step aside and accept a person who in my judgment will give satisfaction to the busineHs interests of the community. While I Bhall always be glad to accept the views of Senators and Representatives, touching matters of this kind, yet I shall not consider myself as in anyway bound to act upon it. My desire is to do the greatest good to the greatest number, and to this end I shall always be glad to have your co-operation. I verv much re gret 1 did not see you, and Bhall be glad to do so at any time." INTERVIEWING THE PRESIDENT. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, General Butler, of South Carolina, and Repre sentatives Levi and Ellis, of Louisiana, had this afternoon an interview with At torney General Devens on the situation in South Carolina and Louisiana. Sena tor Gordon suggested that the logical se quence ol the Bituauon compelled the withdrawal ot troops irora tne mate Houses, or the holding of the State Houses against both Governments; that the Administration refused to recognize either Government in their States, and that therefore if the troops were not with drawn, they must of necessity and logically be used to keep the State Houets as neutral ground; mat it was not and could not be logically consistent to say neither Upvernment should oe recognized ny tne Administration, ana to keep one Government in possession of of the State House, and the other Government out. He insisted that there was no answer to this conclusion, but regard ed the withdrawal of troops, not from the States at all, but simply from the State Houses, as the only course consistent with non-intervention and freedom from embarrassment. General Butler and all those present united in the assertion that no disturbance could or would occur. All those gentlemen stated that the agricultural interests of these States were seri ously injured by delay. Immediately alter the interview sena tor Gordon saw the President and pre sented arguments for as prompt consideration as possible, and was told by the President that the question would at once be taken up and dmposed of. It was the one thing to be first considered. A delegation from Bomb uarolina, con sisting of Senator Patterson, Senator-elect Corbin, J. U, Wmsmith, U. U. tsowen.n. G. Worthington, G. J. Cunningham, Mayor of Charleston, J. V. Low, O. W. Watterman and I. M. Canton, had an interview with the president. Uen-eral Worthington read from manuscript an argument urging that Chamberlain should be recognized as the legal Gover nor of the State. Several other gentlemen presented their views orally, and the President, at the conclusion of the au-ience, said he would submit the whole matter to the Cabinet. In reply to a question from Senator Patterson whether it was true, an stated iu some of the newspapers, that troops are to be moved im mediately from the Columbia State House, the President said this statement was not true. The statu 9110 would be maintained until a final decision should be reached, SUPREME COURT PKCISIOH8. Dovle v. Continental Insurance Com pany. Error to the Circuit Court for Wisconsin. In this case the decision in the case of The Home Insurance Company v. Moore is reaffirmed, that an agreement to abstain in all cases from resorting to circuits of the United Statea is void as sgainHt public policy, and a statute of the State of Wisconsin requiring such an agreement is in conflict with thelonstitu tion of the United States, and void. The present opinion also takes the following ground : The State has a right to impose conditions to the transaction of business within Ub territory, by an insurance company chartered by another State, if they are not in conflict with the Constitu tion or laws of the United States. It mav entirely exclude such com pa. nies from its territory, pr haying given a license it may revoke it for good cause, or without cause. The motive or intention of the State is not open to in auiry. The oompany has no constitutional right to transmit its business in such a State, and hence its exclusion therefrom, from whatever causes, violates no constitutional rights. The right of conclusion belongs to the State, and the meanB by which tt accomplishes the. re. suit ere not the subject of judicial in. anirv. Justice Hunt delivered the opinion dissenting Justices, Bradley, Swayne and Miller. THE CENTENNIAL CASE. Conra et al. v. Crane et al. appeal from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Illinois. It is here considered settled that appeals do not He to this court from decisions ol Uircuit Courts made in exercise of their supervisory jurisdiction under the bankrupt law. Appeal dismissed. The following cause was then taken up and argument proceeded with: George E. Evsler, Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Philadelphia, y. Centen nial Board of Finance et al, appeal from the Circuit Court for the Eastern District nf Pennsylvania. This is the case of the Government to recover the amount of the fecntepuial appropriation. The quea- tion to be determined is whether or not the United States is entitled to be reimbursed $1,600,000, ad vanced under the act of February, 1876, to the Centennial Board of Finance. The United Statea ineista in substance that Congress had no authority under the constitution to make the appropriation, and that for this reason the money should be returned to the Treasurer of the United States; that if Congress bad such authority then it could secure priority of payment to the United States over all other creditors; that the act making the appropriation did provide, in language which cannot be falsely construed otherwise, that the United States should be paid the full amount of such appropriation before any dividend whatever should be paid the stockholders of the Centennial Board of Finance; that such was the unmistakable intention of Congress is evinced by the debates at the time the act was pending, and by all other acta of Congress, eto. THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE. Frederick Douglass was this afternoon qualified aa United States Marshal for the .District of Columbiana, and took charge of the office. Columbus Alexander, of Washington, and General Hill, of Ueorge-town, united with him in the execution of a bond of $20,000 for the performance of the duties. A large number of applicants for office under the new Marshal were in attendance before he was qualified, but Mr. Douglas intimated that he was not in favor of removing any good men from their present positions, and would make no changes without careful consideration. The vacancy caused by the resignation of Colonel Philips, who had been for twenty five years Chief Deputy Marshal, was to-day filled by the appointment of L. P. WilliamB, who for many years has been Assistant Clerk of Supreme Court of the District. This se lection is regarded generally with very great approbation by the bar and public at'large. THE EXTRA SESSION. The President up to this evening has not found himself able to approve any of the plans which have been suggested to obviate the apparent necessity ol an extra session of Congress. He, however, shares the general desire of all parties to discover some means, u any exist, by which the army can be maintained without a called session of Congress, and although he considers all the plans that have vet been suggested insufficient or impracticable, he will not finally decide the matter till further consultation with members of the Cabinet. THE SOUTHERN QUESTION, It is learned at the Executive Mansion that there id no probability of a decision being reached to-morrow concerning the Southern question, although it will then doubtless be brought before the Cabinet, and its formal cousideralion commenced. There will be al least one other session of the Cabinet held before the matter is finally determined. An additional Cabinet meeting will probably be called for Wednesday. , SOUTHERN DELEGATIONS. Several Southern delegations remain in Washington, urging the President to make certain appointments. To one of these the Preaideot to-day said he would take bis time. Gentlemen from the South who have interviewed the President in the interest of the recognition of Nicholls and Hampton are expressing themselves very hopeful that this week will terminate all anxiety on the subject.

Rumor of Preparations for Hostili ties in New Orleans. Wade Hampton Makes n Proposition. A Demaeralle Account of Itae oulsl Hum sitaation. New Orleans, March 19. The Even ing Democrat says: "Matters are aasum ing a feverish cast around the St. LouiB Hotel, and things look more than ever like a conflict. By half-past nine 0 clock Monday, morning there were gathered about the St. Louis and Royal street entrances about one thousand negroeB, who served to make the place a pandemonium These negroes are evidently from the country, and are here to join Packard's militia, which is now engaged in recruit-ing. He now admits he will, as soon at possible, take back the police stations, and says be would 'not remain in the building two hours if he had all his arms back. It can be put down as a settled fact that within a very few days at the farthest rackard will break the peace, HiB backers in the hotel are hot for war. and nothing but the probable outcome is talked about, It is reported he is already in negotiation for the purchase of arms. and all funds come-at-able are to be used in securing them. They boaBt down there that they do not want troops to interfere, and they assert that if 'might makes right,' they have the might. Our citizens should be prepared for the turning loose on the streets of a gang of ignorant negroes, led by bad men, for that now is the evident policy of Packard. The situation is assuming a much more warlike attitude than ever before since January 9, and the responsibility of the matter will rest on Packard, and the fruits he will gather will be most bitter. Wade Hampton Makes a Proposition.New York, March 19. Governor Hampton, of South Carolina, has given a guarantee to the President that if troops are withdrawn no violence will occur or be allowed; but that he will proceed against Chamberlain by legal means only, and under a statute enacted by the Republicans in 1868, to enable them to put out some Democratic incumbents. This statute provides for the summary ejection of Bny person intruding himself into a public office by warrant issued by a Circuit Judge.

I was pardoned out bv Governor Hayes, now President of the United Stales. My original sentence was for twenty years. My life is wasted and I am a wreck. God knows I intended when I came out of prison to live an bon est life. I was pardoned out on the 5th of last, month, I went to Cincinnati and tried to get work, but failed. From there I went to Pittsburg and met with no better success. Then! tramped it all the way to New York, where I had friends, trying to get work from farmers on the way, sleeping where 1 got an opportunity, and eating when ever charitable persons gave me a cruet. My friends here, who knew me before I was a criminal, refused to recognize me I can't get work. I have lived in the gutter, aud have been kicked about dread to kill myself, and so with the horrors of prison life still before me I am obliged to go back. There is nothing else left for me."

They assign as a reason for the outrages recently committed at Cbico that a number of white men who had been employed in the Sash and Blind Factory were discharged and uninamen hired in their places; that under the incentive of poverty and lack ot employment, becom ing dissatisfied with the slow and power ful working of the Urder of Caucasians, to which they belonged, some of these men formed an anti-Coolie club, to whose influence, direct or indirect, the recent tragedy is largely duo.

Chilicothe, March 19. fo the Editor of the Ohio Stale Journal : All thoughts of "spring, beautiful spring," vanished like mist, figuratively speaking, from our mind when that inveterate fraud, delusion and snare, Old Probs., embraced us within his icy arms, at the same time showering myriads of snow flukes down upon mother earth.

Neglect of duty on the part of Mr. Pearson is the alleged reason for Judge Vanmeter's action. As the incumbent is a jolly, whole-so 11 led, big-hearted gentle man, it is a matter of much regret that the difficulty has occurred. Little Jimmy, a two year old boy named Jeff, whose parents reside in the fourth ward ot this city, fell tbe victim to a most painful and dreadful accident tbe latter part ot last week. He unfortunately got hold of a vial of kreosote, and, placing it to his mouth, drank down a greater portion of the terrible fluid.

Mrs. Rachel Armistead died yesterday morning, in the eightyninth year of her age, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Harriet A. Davis, No. 630 North High street. Mrs. Armistead was among the few pioneers who could give personal recollections of the times when the, site of Columbus was a wilderness. She was born at the village of Albany, New Jer sey, and came to Ohio when very young. Her maiden name was Rachel Gulches. She became the wife of Colonel Joseph Gorton, and lived with him in Franklinton when that village was a mere speck of civilization, and when but one cabin was lo cated on the ground now occupied by that portion ot tbe city of Columbus east of the Scioto river. It is difficult for the young people of today to compre hend tbe fact that Colonel Gorton hunted deer over the territory where the handsome city fronts of Columbus now stands, and that until yesterday morning there lived a woman who was his companion in the wilderness, and who had personal recollections' of pioneer hardships and terrors in this coun ty. On one occasion the Gorton family were compelled to flee from their home in franklinton to escape the hos tile Indians, and they experienced many other pioneer hardships which would go to make up an interesting volume ot history, not unlinked with primeval romance. Colonel Gorton carried the mail, in early times, between Franklinton and Sandusky, and frequently when weary with a day's travel would tie his horsed to a tree in the evening, and walk a long distance from the animal before lying down to sleep; this precaution was deemed wise, inasmuch as the horse was likely to at tract tbe attention of roving savages. Such were the incidents of pioneer life ith which tbe subject of thia sketch wsb familiar. Colonel Gortln died in 1820, and in 1826 his widow was married to a gentleman whose name she bore up to the time of her death, and by whom she bad several children who are now living in this city and vicinity. Mrs. Armistead resided for some years n the vicinity of Dublin, but during the last years of her life lived in this city, and in her feeble old nge, and especially during her last illness, covering a period of about two weeks, received the most de voted attention of her daughters, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Demorest, and other relatives and friends who held her in the most profound veneration. Mrs. Armistead was a most exemplary woman. She wsb long a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her interesting history is one which will be kindly remembered by all to whom Bhe was iutimately known. The remains of Mrs. Armsfead will bo removed from the residence of Mrs. Davis to-morrow morning, and the funeral will take place at Wesley Chapel, in Norwich township, at eleven o'clock. An Old Time Typo. T. W. Murray, a printer and publisher in Columbus over a quarter of a century ago, but now of Cincinnati, made the State Journal office a visit yesterday. In 1848 he printed the Baptist Cross and Journal for Randall & Batoheler, and edited "Old Z:ick" a campaign sheet, issued in the interest, of General Taylor for the Presidency, Mr. Murray is still "at thecasi'i,! &'d promises well for many years yet. This is his second visit in twentyfive years. He claims that Columbus has outgrown bis recollection.
